SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Causal Inference in Education Research Seminar (CIERS): Performance-based Funding
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nPerformance-based funding policies allocate state appropriations according to specific formulas that include student success outcomes.  More than half the states across the country have implemented performance-based funding policies to increase higher education accountability and transparency. In this work in progress\, I describe the history of performance-based funding\, provide current examples of policies throughout the country\, and summarize the current research on performance-based funding.  Then\, I explain some of the limitations of the prior research.  To address some of the concerns of past research\, I focus on community colleges in the state of Ohio to explore the effect of performance-based funding at the institution level.  In the aggregate\, I find that performance-based funding in Ohio may not be effective at increasing associate’s degrees.  Preliminary results also suggest that the effect of performance-based funding may not vary by institutional characteristics.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Banner Moments: The National Anthem in American Life
DESCRIPTION:The new Ford Presidential Library lobby exhibit\, curated by University of Michigan musicologist Mark Clague\, illustrates through interpretive panels\, historical documents and photographs\, the cultural 200-year history of “The Star-Spangled Banner” (1814–2014). The tale that emerges demonstrates the power of music and poetry to spark the social imagination and thus create a sense of shared community.\n\nInspired by the successful defense of Baltimore\, Maryland from British attack in September 1814\, lawyer and amateur poet Francis Scott Key penned his now famous lyric. Rather than extraordinary\, Key’s creative impulse was typical of early America’s broadside ballad tradition in which new words were written to fit well known tunes. The result\, however\, was far from everyday—Key could not have predicted that his song would survive the moment\, yet become his nation’s singular anthem.\n\nFollow the “The Star-Spangled Banner” from the moments leading up to September 14\, 1814 through the present day and explore the social history of our national song.\nMarch 2017 to September 2017 \n\nMonday - Friday. 8:45 am - 4:45 pm\nClosed all Federal holidays.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections.  Titled Cosmogonic Tattoos\, his project will use adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings\, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides\, imaginatively transformed within our campus context\, this project celebrates the power of architecture\, ornament\, and material objects to shape knowledge\, historical memory\, and cultural identity. \n\nLook for displays in the UMMA from April 22-Dec. 3\, the exterior of the Kelsey Museum from June 2-Dec. 17\, and in the interior special exhibition space of the Kelsey Museum from June 2-Sept. 10.\n\nFor information on-the-go about this event and all other Bicentennial happenings\, download our free mobile app: http://guidebook.com/g/umich200.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition-on-View\, \"Persistent Pasts: The Bicentennial Campus as Archive\"
DESCRIPTION:Combining historical research and analysis from the students in Sarah Rovang’s “The Curated Campus” graduate seminar and the design output of Steven Mankouche’s “What If” Options Studio\, Persistent Pasts reflects on the University of Michigan’s campus as a repository of memory. As UM celebrates its Bicentennial year\, this exhibition asks how past traditions\, tensions\, and technologies have left material or cultural traces on campus space today. By laying bare rarely examined aspects of the historical university alongside radical designs for an unrealized present\, Persistent Pasts asks us to question entrenched conceptions of what UM should and could be\, architecturally and institutionally. This exhibition is supported in part by a Bicentennial Activity Grant\, co-authored by Claire Zimmerman and Sarah Rovang. \n\nThis exhibition will be on view in the Taubman College Gallery through May 19. The college gallery is open Monday - Friday\, 9am - 5pm. \n\nThere will be an presentation and panel on Friday\, April 7 at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Auditorium\, followed by a reception in the college gallery.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Here and There
DESCRIPTION:\"Here and There\"  looks at the problems of extreme poverty\, and includes artist Tracey Snelling's signature piece \"One Thousand Shacks.\" New works--created on campus during her three-week residency--will examine these issues in the US\, how they relate to location and\, at times\, the disenfranchisement of large groups of people for the sake of big business\, political clout\, and power. \n\nCurator's Statement:\n\nTo meet artist Tracey Snelling evokes the sensation of a strong willed breeze determined to open a backyard door. \n\nAs an artist and person\, she is down to earth\, direct\, contemporary\, and moving through it all with volition. \n\nSnelling’s artistic practice originally focused on photography as a medium\, but soon evolved to include her construction of sculptures based upon cities and towns\, strip malls and urban housing. \n\nShe refers to her three dimensional work as sculptural rather than diorama or model making because she isn’t particularly interested in the exact rendering of location\, or the contextualization of place. Instead\, she taps into the energy of community and its humanness—restless\, frenetic\, din\, a choir\, extending beyond the confines of walls. \n\nSnelling’s representations are neither judgmental nor opportunistic. They unaffectedly and objectively offer a multidimensional sketch of a place in time\, how we occupy space. \n\nHer signature piece \"One Thousand Shacks\" (included in this exhibition along with new work created during her her residency here) pushes up against the challenges of economic inequalities\, racial biases\, and imposed class divisions that often limit the options available to so many people. Concurrently\, the installation embraces our everyday existence expressed through Snelling’s exuberant palette\, bold graphics\, video and neon. \n\nConceptually\, Snelling’s stacking method first creates an exalted “big picture” with a myriad of colors\, image\, text\, sound and light. The counterpoint in scale soon immerses the viewer into each small world. With this shift\, the onlooker becomes the active participant\, the occupant in situ\, adding the trappings of their own experiences to each tableau. It is this shift that forces the viewer into a new way of seeing from varying perspectives.\n\nOn the one hand\, the artist’s sculptures allude to our desire for refuge\, a private domain that allows us to be ourselves. On the other\, the overall composition reaffirms it is imperative that we co-exist with one another respectfully\, forge relationships\, understanding our marked differences. It is diversity—the unique and often disparate combination of things\, the cacophony of it all\, that activates communities and public space.\n\nSnelling’s constructions literally build a way out\, one on top of another\, charged with the undercurrent of the way we live. They emphasize our universal longing to find a place called home\, and be accepted\, built on the foundation of one and of many. \n–Amanda Krugliak\, Arts Curator\, Institute for the Humanities\n\nAbout Tracey Snelling:\nThrough the use of sculpture\, photography\, video\, and large-scale installation\, Tracey Snelling gives her impression of a place\, its people and their experience. Often\, the cinematic image stands in for real life as it plays out behind windows in the buildings\, sometimes creating a sense of mystery\, other times stressing the mundane. Snelling’s work derives from voyeurism\, film noir\, and geographical and architectural location. Within this idea of location\, themes develop that transport observation into the realm of storytelling\, with reality and sociological study being the focus. Snelling had exhibited in international galleries\, museums and institutions\, including the The Royal Museum of Fine Arts\, Belgium\; Palazzo Reale\, Milan\; Museum of Arts and Design\, New York\; Kunstmuseen Krefeld Germany\; El Museo de Arte de Banco de la Republica\, Bogota\; the Stenersen Museet\, Oslo\, and the Sundance Film Festival. Her short films have screened at the San Francisco International Film Festival\, the Thessaloniki International Film Festival\, Circuito Off in Venice\, Italy\, and the Arquiteturas Film Festival Lisboa in Portugal. She also received a 2015 Joan Mitchell Painters and Sculptors Grant. Snelling lives and works in Oakland\, California and Berlin\, Germany.
